Gun Control Activists Should Rescue Kidnapped Nigerian Girls

Many are calling for something to be done about the nearly 300 Nigerian school girls who were kidnapped by the “radical Islamist” terror group Boko Haram. Apparently they are using the girls as sex slaves and selling them as child brides. Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko Haram, said in a video, “I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah. There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell” (“Boko Haram Strikes Again,” CNN, May 7, 2014). Breitbart says, “Boko Haram sets schools ablaze. Boko Haram targets teachers and doctors, but above all, Christians. They murdered over 2,596 people in the first three months of 2014” (“Obama Administration: Boko Haram Has Legitimate Concerns,” Breitbart, May 8, 2014). They slit throats and burn people alive. It would be good for the victims if Special Forces soldiers could be turned loose on Boko Harams the world over, no holds barred, until there were no more Boko Harams, but that’s not going to happen in this present world. So perhaps Piers Morgan could lead a team of unarmed gun control activists on a mission to rescue the girls, locked and loaded with good will and sound reason.
